Unemployment data are obtained by adding private households unemploymemt and collectives household unemployment. For private households, since 2003 data refer to the average number of unemployed according ILO drawn from the continuous Labour Force Survey.  It should be noted that the figures are average numbers of unemployed during a year and not series adjusted for seasonal variations. For collectives households, the ratio between the share of unemployed in collectives households and the share of unemployed in private households is assumed to remain constant through time. This ratio is estimated from census annual survey. Due to the renewal of the 2013 Labor Force Survey questionnaire, unemployment data have been revised downwards. In March 2014 da for the period 1975 to 2012 have been backcasted and smothed to deleted the breaks in series and change in the definitions.

Annual data are estimated averages for the year. Every year, results of the Employment Survey are aligned with estimates of population calculated by INSEE using annual registry office statistics and results of the censuses. Weights attributed to the household data are adjusted in such a way that estimates of men and women by quinquennial age groups add to the total.

Unemployment data are obtained by adding private households unemploymemt and collectives household unemployment. For private households, since 2003 data refer to the average number of unemployed according ILO drawn from the continuous Labour Force Survey.  It should be noted that the figures are average numbers of unemployed during a year and not series adjusted for seasonal variations. For collectives households, the ratio between the share of unemployed in collectives households and the share of unemployed in private households is assumed to remain constant through time. This ratio is estimated from census annual survey. Due to the renewal of the 2013 Labor Force Survey questionnaire, unemployment data have been revised downwards. In March 2014 da for the period 1975 to 2012 have been backcasted and smothed to deleted the breaks in series and change in the definitions.

This ratio is estimated from census annual survey. Due to the renewal of the 2013 Labor Force Survey questionnaire, unemployment data have been revised downwards. In March 2014 da for the period 1975 to 2012 have been backcasted and smothed to deleted the breaks in series and change in the definitions.

Annual data are estimated averages for the year. Every year, results of the Employment Survey are aligned with estimates of population calculated by INSEE using annual registry office statistics and results of the censuses. Weights attributed to the household data are adjusted in such a way that estimates of men and women by quinquennial age groups add to the total.
